It is not an everyday sight that political rivals praise each other aloud, but that is exactly what happened on the day of tabling questions for Union Road Transport and Highways minister Nitin Gadkari in the Parliament. Little did the minister know that the day will turn into Gadkrai Praising Day.
Not only BJP but its allies – to be specific, Shiv Sena – and even Congress MPs heaped praise on the BJP minister. Sonia Gandhi, too, thumped desk in Gadkari’s appreciation.
Gadkari very clearly stated that he has tried to work in every constituency irrespective of the parties there. On this, Apna Dal MP Kunwar Harivansh Singh said that Gadkari has done such great work in road laying that he should rather be called “Roadkari”.
